Count Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle as a big fan of what the 76ers have done. Regardless of the Sixers 24-43 record entering Friday's game at the Wells Fargo Center with the Mavs, Carlisle had high praise for the young team.

"Philadelphia has been one of the most fun teams to watch this year for me," Carlisle said before Friday's game. "I love the way they move the ball, I love how hard they play."

He also likes the team work the Sixers have displayed.

"They pass the ball more frequently than anybody in the league by statistics," Carlisle said. They just move it, drive it, share it..."

Carlisle then praised his counterpart, Sixers coach Brett Brown.

"Brett has done over the last four years an amazing job positioning this franchise to keep moving ahead," he said. "It's pretty clear next year they are going to take an even bigger quantum leap."
